I feel I am called to a nun. I am so certain of my vocation but I have yet to share it with anyone outside these forums and my priest. Tomorrow, I am visiting home for the weekend (I am in university) and I am planning on telling my mother. I’m quite nervous about how she will react (she is not Catholic) and I don’t want this to cause problems in my family.

Please pray that I will have the courage to tell her, that she will be open to my vocation and that if she is not that I will not be discouraged and respond with patience.
 
Emily,
How wonderful to hear that calling. You have been especially chosen.
God will hold your hand as you go to tell you Mother. Ask for his help to guide
your words when you meet with her. He will tell you what to say, and i will
say a prayer for you and your Mother especially to accept your vocation
as a blessing from God. obviously you are a person that is very spiritual
and also want to help others through your prayer and your vocation.
God Bless You Emily. What a Wonderful Choice for Your Lifes work.

Mary:)👍👍
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us!
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
God bless you! Your calling is a gift. I pray your family rejoices with you. Have courage and let us all be blessed by your shining example of faith!
 
Dear Lord, help and bless your servant PerfectTiming in her calling to be a nun if it is your will and for her own good. Grant that she will not get any opposition from her family and loved ones and that they will offer her help and sound advice. I pray…Hail Holy Queen… + Amen

In lingua ecclesiae crucisque:

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
 
Thank you all very much for your prayers. I am feeling much calmer about it so they’re clearly working. 🙂
I will let you all know how it goes. Thanks again.

May her be always protected by spiritual enemies, have the strength to endure the difficulties and be conforted and alweays guided by Your Holy Spirit. May you give her a special heart capable of knowing You. May she have the always the patience to pray for her family her friends and for all of us.
In Jesus Christ name

Holy Mary please pray with us for our sister, please ask Your Son to be always close to this future nun.

Thank you all again for your prayers, they have meant a lot to me.

I wish I could say she took it well but she didn’t. She can’t understand the beauty of the life or why I would want that life. Her first reaction was (as I suspected it would be) “WHAT?” She thinks I’d be wasting the time I’ve spent studying and the other plans I had for my life. She took the aspect that I wouldn’t be seeing my family much very hard as well, she took it very personally. I kept trying to emphasise that this wasn’t a definite, and it wasn’t on a whim and it wasn’t just to hide from the world. We both ended up in tears. I just don’t know where to go from here. I hate causing her pain. I just wish there were a way I could make her see it the way I do.
 
Dear Lord naturally this is alarming for this mother who doubtless had dreams of a wedding day, and grandchildren, and also does not share Catholic faith. Please help this good mother through this and rather make her grateful that her daughter so genuinely loves You.
Please also console her daughter who wishes no hurt to her mother.
Let Thy will be gloriously fulfilled in these two lives.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen
